The electoral register

We will contact you each year to update the electoral register; you must respond by law. How to view the register or opt out of the open register.

Opt out of the open register

Your name and address will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. Removing your details from the open register does not affect your right to vote.

When you apply to register to vote, you will be given the choice to opt out of the open register as part of your application.

If you are already registered and want to opt out, email electoral.enquiries@southwark.gov.uk. Include in your email:

  • that you would like to opt out of the open register 
  • your full name and address
